swbookclubWelcome to our second of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.
This month’s book is Queen's Shadow by E.K. Johnston
The halfway mark on my eBook just as Chapter 14 begins. Spoilers up to that point in the post and comments below.
Queen’s Shadow: Part 2 of 4
1. How does the imagery from the book (ie. Naboo wardrobe, Senate chamber, etc.) compare with the imagery you might expect from the movies and/or animated series?
2. What are your thoughts on Sabé and Tonra? Was their mission to Tatooine a narrative distraction to have them arrive later than the others or will it come up again later?
3. The impact holonets/media has gotten some more traction as the story goes along. Do you think any of the named Senators are influencing them? (ie. Organa, Mon Mothma, Farr)
4. How are you liking the book so far? Any other thoughts? Predictions?
FYI - There's no need to answer all (or any) of the questions above - they're just talking points to get us started. Informal chatter is more than welcome! In-person book clubs often veer off topic, it's okay if we do as well. :)
All I ask is that you try to avoid spoilers for things past the first half of the book.

side note: I've been listening to this in the car and they spaceport background noise sound like sirens in the distance and I keep having to check to see if an ambulance is coming up the road behind me. :|

Well, it's only natural to pull over for star destroyers I guess? (LOL)
